A rare parkland estate of grandeur

Remuera’s best kept secret, a vast family parkland of epic proportions in a prestigious central location with romantic gardens, majestic trees, a huge saltwater swimming pool and cabana, tennis court, golf putting green, playhouses, a children’s playground and even a flying fox. Zoned mixed housing suburban, the 3525sqm estate is a rare opportunity to secure a tranquil country lifestyle or a future development site in central Auckland.

Tucked away on a peaceful no-exit street, this private sanctuary has been loved and lived in by the current owner for more than 23 years. A place that has held childhoods, celebrations and long summer evenings by the pool, it has been treasured and will be deeply missed.

Imagine playing lord or lady of the manor in a six ensuite bedroom 458sqm (more or less) English country style home designed in 1925 by architect Noel Bamford, the first director of Auckland’s School of Architecture. The north east facing home and garden with views over Remuera have been updated and modernised by design masters like Brian Cullen and Mark Read of Natural Habitats. Classic features include leadlight windows, timber floors and a marble fireplace, balanced by central heating, a light filled conservatory and multiple living spaces plus offices. Formal and family areas flow to terraces and courtyards upstairs and down. The master suite has a huge dressing room and ensuite, and every bedroom plus the upstairs study has its own ensuite bathroom.

Lifestyle and location are equally exceptional, near the College Rifles Rugby fields with its fitness gym, classes and sporting events, and close to Remuera Village, the Meadowbank train station, Newmarket and the vibrant city.

In zone for Remuera Primary, Remuera Intermediate and Selwyn College, and close to top private schools, this prized address offers both daily convenience and long term confidence for families.

With double internal garaging and massive off street parking for seven vehicles, the property must be seen to be believed. There is scope to refresh and add value to realise future gains.

A once in a lifetime Remuera parkland estate.
